2001 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic (Low Mileage & Lots of Extras)

[DougD]

Hello Everyone. Sorry for this to be my first post here. I've been riding for years and I normally post on Two Wheeled Texans, Adventure Rider, and the V-Strom forums.

I am selling this bike for my father who is in his late 50's. He is ill and is unable to sell it himself.

Location: McKinney, Texas
Bike: 2001 Kawasaki VN800-B6 Vulcan Classic
Mileage: 4,319
Price: $4,200 OBO or Will Trade For Dual Sport Bike (Please see the third post below.)
Clear Texas Title
My Contact Information: gatortac@sbcglobal.net

This bike is very clean and it is in excellent condition. Always kept in the garage. Never stored outside. Never wrecked. My Dad is the only owner of this bike. He bought it in September of 2001 from American Kawasaki in Garland, Texas. He didn't ride it very much though as evidenced by the current mileage. I rode the bike from his home in Garland to my house in McKinney yesterday and it was a great ride. (A lot different than my V-Strom though.) The only reason this motorcycle is for sale is because the owner is having serious health problems.

Cons: 1) The clutch lever has a little play in it and needs to be adjusted/tightened. I'll see if I can do that myself tomorrow. 2) The front right turn signal bulb is burned out.

Pros: It's a very low mileage bike, in superb condition, with lots of extra stuff on it. See excessively documented details below:

free bump for a good bike. My friend has one of those, not sure if it's an 01, but I rode it for a while and it is verrrrry cumfy and has a lot of get up and go, just as much as my M did.

Opening this up for trades. (I'll take care of my Dad on my end if the bike is traded.)

I am looking for:

• Suzuki DRZ400S
• Suzuki DR650
• Suzuki DRZ400E w/ enduro kit to make it street legal

I am especially interested in bikes that may have already been modified by the previous owner with skid plates, large gas tank, handguards, etc. If you have suggestions about other bikes that are similar to the models I have listed above, please let me know. I’m not looking for “pretty” or “stylish.” I’m looking for a functional, highly reliable bike that will take me over rough dirt roads and trails from here to the west coast of Oregon. See: Trans-America Trail It doesn’t matter what color the bike is or how ugly it is. Mechanical reliability and ruggedness are more important to me than anything else.

Thank you for looking.
